We are proud to announce that our very first Optimization and Learning Day will take place in Grenoble on June 17th, 2026 at the IMAG building on the main university campus, see location here.
The building can be accessed from the train station with the B tram line.
This workshop will be a small-scale gathering with around 50 attendees, dedicated to the latest advances that combine decision-making (continuous or discrete optimization, operations research) with machine learning.
The workshop will follow a single-track format with invited speakers. We welcome submissions for the poster session to foster interactions between participants.
